Lexington Herald Leader Mocks Veteran/Adoptive Father Bevin Because He’s a Conservative with Black Kids

Republicans are racist.  Got it?  That’s the message the media wants you to know, to accept, and to spread.

But what to do if some of those pesky Republicans have gone and screwed up the narrative by adopting kids that don’t share their skin color?

I’ve written about the vicious attacks from the Left before on adoptive conservative families, so I like to point it out whenever this vile strain of “political rhetoric” raises its head. It’s happened to me, it’s happened to Mitt Romney (who has a black grandchild), and it’s now happened to Kentucky’s governor elect, Matt Bevin.

Today’s edition of “Liberals Attacking White Parents Who Adopt” is brought to you by the Lexington Herald Leader, my former hometown paper.

As some of you know, Bevin and his wife had six biological children, but one was killed in an accident. Later, they adopted four children from Ethiopia.

Isn’t that nice?

No, wait — did I catch you feeling respect for Bevin?  Remember, he’s a Republican.  The only media-approved feeling you can have is contempt.

Cue the political cartoonist, Joel Pett, who depicted Bevin hiding under his desk, with an aid saying, “Sir, their not terrorists, they’re your own adopted kids!”

What he’s implying, of course, is that Bevin is a racist, a coward, and a bigot.  (By the way, Bevin is a military veteran, an artillery officer.)

Too bad the editors at the Herald Leader are completely fine with a liberal cartoonist comparing adopted black children to terrorists and maligning the character of a man simply based on his decision to “take care of orphans in their distress.”  (Yeah, Mister President, Republicans do that.)

When you are conservative, there is no virtue that doesn’t become a vice in the eyes of the left.
